After Zhao Changqing and others arrived in Hangzhou, they were not in a hurry to continue going south. Instead, they wandered around Hangzhou for a few days.

Hangzhou is known as the "Paradise on Earth", with beautiful and pleasant scenery. The Wang family's silk business was very popular here, and it once promoted the reputation of Suzhou and Hangzhou silk to every country in the world.

After leaving Hangzhou, Wang Qiang was still a little reluctant to leave, but she did not show it, fearing that the emperor's affairs would delay her for a few days.

Lingnan Road.

Located in the south.

The Jiedushi of Lingnan Province had just taken office and learned that the emperor personally led an army to come here, so he quickly waited at the border of Lingnan.

Xiao Yuming informed Zhao Changqing about this matter, which aroused his displeasure and said: "I have just taken up the position of Jiedushi, shouldn't I be busy? What's more, I have already said that these local officials will not be allowed to

Come and pick up the driver.

What's going on now? Are you openly defying my orders?"

Xiao Yuming quickly explained: "Your Majesty, this is not the case, but there is something else hidden. This newly appointed Jiedushi is an old man who followed Your Majesty in the north and south. Now he is a Jiedushi in Lingnan.

, it will be even more difficult to meet His Majesty in the future.

Therefore, he thought that he could see the holy face in Lingnan and fulfill a long-cherished wish in his heart."

"The old man who follows me?" Zhao Changqing lost most of his anger and asked curiously: "Whose last name is there and where did he come from?"

In fact, he has always been very kind to the old people who follow him.

Although they sometimes interfere with their plans to earn stupidity points, they still do not affect the friendship between them.

Xiao Yuming said: "This man's name is Ma Hong. He was a general who made outstanding contributions in the Battle of the Barren Mountains outside the Qingzhou border. It was he who led the death camp and broke through the Jishui embankment, thereby destroying the Jishui levee.

Jin army.

It's a pity that Tian was jealous of the talented man. During the battle against Chang'an, his hamstring was injured by a master, and he was unable to fight the enemy for the rest of his life. Therefore, Prime Minister Zhuge arranged for him to do a festival in Lingnan."

Hearing this, Zhao Changqing was very touched in his heart. This was considered a life-and-death experience for him, and it was worthy of attention. He asked, "Where is he now?"

Just as Xiao Yuming was about to speak, a scout came and reported: "Your Majesty, Ma Hong, the military governor of Lingnan Road, is kneeling alone in front of the army and wants to see your Majesty."

Zhao Changqing did not hesitate and said directly: "Take me to see him."

The scout immediately bowed to the emperor and led the way.

Zhao Changqing came here and saw Ma Hong kneeling there alone, with a crutch in front of him. Without saying a word, he immediately walked over.

Wang Qiang, Xiao Yuming and others followed closely.

When Ma Hong saw His Majesty the Emperor coming in person, he felt flattered and hurriedly knelt down to greet him.

When he arrived in front of Zhao Changqing, a very upright man actually cried with excitement. He choked and said: "Your Majesty..."

After saying this, he wanted to kneel down, but Zhao Changqing held his arms to prevent him from kneeling down. He scolded: "Every time I march outside, I give three orders and five orders. The Wei Dynasty does not like to kneel down. Have you forgotten?"

Ma Hong sobbed and said: "Your Majesty, I have not forgotten, I am just too excited."

Zhao Changqing nodded and said, "Can you get up?"

Ma Hong nodded first and wanted to stand up, but found that because he had knelt down for too long, his leg injury showed signs of recurrence. He gritted his teeth and wanted to persevere, but the pain from his leg made him feel sick.

sweating a lot.

In desperation, he finally shook his head.

Zhao Changqing glanced at Xiao Yuming, who understood and came to help Ma Hong up.

After Ma Hong stood up, Zhao Changqing looked at his legs for a long time before sighing and saying: "The post of Lingnan Dao Jiedushi is a casual job, which can ensure that you will have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life.

You don’t have to deal with government affairs at ordinary times, just take good care of your health. Lingnan is located in a remote area, so there won’t be any major events on weekdays, so it’s better to take good care of your health first.”

He said this out of selfishness. After all, as a governor, if he doesn't handle government affairs well, he will definitely contribute some mediocrity to himself.

However, these words made Ma Hong feel grateful and ashamed at the same time, "Your Majesty, the general's legs have become crippled, but the position of serving the country has not been abolished. The general still has the hands, and he will definitely be able to conquer this Lingnan Road."

The management is in good order and lives up to your majesty’s grace!”

He knew very well that he was where he was today, partly because of his military exploits, and partly because His Majesty wanted to reuse those colleagues who followed him all the way to Chang'an.

Otherwise, why would such an important position as Yifang Jiedu be given to his colleagues in the army?

Otherwise, in the past, if someone like me was in a situation like my own, I would have been given a false position by the court, and then would have been left to die with my salary for nothing.

That sentence about the emperor’s grace is truly inspired.

Later, he also heard that the dead heroes who went to dig the embankment were also heavily rewarded by Prime Minister Zhuge to their families. This is very likely and is what your Majesty meant!

Zhao Changqing frowned and said: "Whatever I want you to do, you do it. You have worked hard for half a life, and this is just a day of licking blood. For the rest of your life, you will live for yourself. I allow you to do whatever you want in Lingnan and take good care of yourself."

That’s it, as for those government affairs, just ignore them!”

Ma Hong felt very uncomfortable after hearing this. The discomfort was mixed with gratitude, which was very contradictory. He wanted to retort, but he didn't dare, so he had to accept the order.

"General, I know, thank you for your kindness!"

At the same time, I also secretly vowed in my heart that I must manage Lingnan well in the future. Only in this way can I live up to His Majesty's kindness!

Zhao Changqing asked him: "How long have you been the military governor of Lingnan Road?"

Ma Hong replied: "It will take less than ten days to report back to Your Majesty."

Zhao Changqing nodded and said: "It's not too late. After coming here for so many days, have you figured out the situation in Lingnan area?"

Ma Hong was stunned after hearing this, and thought to himself: "It seems that His Majesty allowed me to recuperate in Lingnan and not have to deal with government affairs. It was just a pleasantries. In fact, His Majesty still values ​​me in his heart and will not look down on me because I am lame in one leg!"

Otherwise, they wouldn’t ask me how much I know about the situation in Lingnan!”

Thinking of this, he replied: "Reporting to your Majesty, I haven't learned much about the situation in the past few days. It's just because the situation on Lingnan Road is too complicated. Not only is there a mixture of fish and dragons, but also the disaster of witchcraft has made the local area

The people suffered greatly.

But, despite this, they are still willing to trust wizards, and the level of trust is outrageous."

"The plague of witchcraft?"

Zhao Changqing frowned for a moment.

Now in front of him, there is a ready-made way to obtain stupidity points, and that is to strongly support witchcraft.

But this was extremely unethical, and the largest witch and Gu family in the area had a grudge against him.

Therefore, after thinking for a moment, Zhao Changqing ordered everyone: "After tomorrow, starting from one city and one county, we will completely eliminate these witchcraft sects in Lingnan Road.

In addition, before sending a large army, the Miao family will be closely monitored first. Remember, no one from the Miao family is allowed to escape. I will bloodbath the Miao family and leave no trace of the Miao family alive!"

Everyone was horrified, and His Majesty's decisive approach never changed in a day.

Xiao Yuming and others bowed and said: "General, I will obey the order!"

Zhao Changqing took a long breath and murmured: "Old Monster Miao, do you have the fucking ability to try to poison me? You never thought that the young man you once persecuted was Wei Wei.
